Laughing Out Loud

I'm sorry Toledo, but Mike Bell made his bones as a democrat. I don't know why he didn't choose to run as a democrat, but I never believed that he wouldn't govern as one. Today he asked those of you left in the city who actually pay income taxes to pay more. From 2.25% to 2.5%. But it's only "temporary".

Well we are finally free of Carty Finkbeiner. In The Blade I read that our newly inaugurated Mayor announced that the new Welcome To Toledo signs would not bear his name. No ego-massaging signs for Mr. Bell as we had for Finkbeiner. Instead of the new mayor's name being displayed on the signs we will see an image of a rocket! How great! The Blade's cartoonist Kirk stuck Finkbeiner with the title Hizzoner. A great suggestion for all the pundits out there: let's call our new mayor Mike "The Rocketman" Bell!

Here ya go Zeitgeist...The meathead scientists at U of East Anglia now admit that they dumped the raw temperature data that they fed into their models for "global warming"...They cannot now correlate at lot of what they have been spewing out...I guess this goes along with what was found in the email traffic...The article that I found is from the "Times Online"...Follow this link (Since it takes a month for the Times to approve a news/blog site)... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6936328.ece

and you thought he only did video music awards. HUH... think again.

HMMM, just have to wonder if the low turnout for the primaries today might be due to the fact that ACORN is "retrenching", or, hiding (and threatening to sue)...thanks to the series of videos over the past week that has been exposing this organization for what it truely is...You won't find this in the MSM...(Charlie Gibson did not have a clue!). (You Tube,) Beck, Hannity have been on this. Gotta love it! And "God Bless" the intrepid "20 somethings" that thought this up and carried it out. There is hope, my friends!

Too funny:

Well, there goes the 'perfect score' with the conservative family values folks. The reporter chasing him around adds to the yucks.

Time for a good laugh on SB and time for all husbands with marital strife out there to seek counciling before resorting to this:

The seven dirty words are seven English-language words that comedian George Carlin first listed in 1972 in his monologue "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television". Below is a list of the words and alternate to help avoid the profanity filter!

The words are:             Alternates:

lol? Good work wasting three minutes of my life ABC 13.

A friend just emailed me that the Konop heckler video has made it's way to the front page of MSN. It's on the left hand side as the featured video highlight as of 2 minutes ago.

Go away now, 'birthers'. Just go far, far away and/or look for some other inane 'issue' to direct your stupidity towards.

According to the Blah and 'SPD, The Fink has informed friends and supporters by snail mail that he will not be running for re-election....

According to the article, when he decided to run 4 years ago, it was always just for one term....

RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT.....

Ha, Ha...WAY too funny:

Seriously, enough people these days have been dumbed down enough to believe these 'unintentional' errors. Roger Ailes knows what he's doing...

Recently, one of the weekly tabloids ran an article about Mike Bell sponsoring a new idea to take a regional approach to water resource management and devleopment in the Region. Great idea, Mike, except it's been around and working for over a decade. It's called the "Great Lakes Initiative." I'm sure the US EPA will be thrilled that another politician is embacing their program as a platform for a mayoral race. Again, I plead with you, Mike, please give us voters something new that's going to help the City of Toledo get out of this mess.

Too funny not to post!

It was like a cross between an episode on MSNBC's Dateline: To Catch A Predator With Chris Hansen and a re-enactment of those heady days in 2006 when Republican Congressman Mark Foley was exposed as a child molester. Jane Orie is a far right extremist, an anti-choice fanatic and the Republican majority whip of the Pennsylvania state Senate. She represents a backward district north of Pittsburgh. And if you'd guess that she's obsessed with sex and is a virulent and hysterical homophobe you'd be correct.

Friday she fired one of her top aides, Alan David Berlin. The report in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is almost funny if it weren't so tragically Republican. It starts off like typical GOP fare-- another Republican closet case solicits sex from a young boy (15 years old) online. But then it gets really strange.

How'd we miss this? No plug on Swampbubbles about 'ol Joe 'keepin' it fresh', no hourly update on the happenings of our local hero ? The straight-shootin', down-to-earth, regular-guy-face of the GOP?? No Palin/Plumber ticket in '12? LOL, wow, must be a hoax.

I read in the daily local today that Social Security will be bankrupt by 2037 and Medicare will be bankrupt by 2017.

Both "Universal" programs created by the Government. Both unwieldy and expensive. And now, both will be insolvent soon without major changes.

A trade union filed a lawsuit against Toledo Mayor Carty Finkbeiner and several local construction companies claiming that workers employed on the city’s Erie Street Market project were not making prevailing wages as required by law.

Looks like the taxpayers will be paying twice for the work.

Way to go Carty
